Not any more it isnt... It's brewed by Robinsons in Stockport these days. Aparantly its nothing like Wards brewed at the old Wards brewery - I wouldnt know - I'm too young to remember. I just remember them sponsoring the mighty blades!Wards Best Bitter? Brewed in Shefield

Retford is my nearest town, though its still 9 miles away. I know it well, but don't frequent it for drinking any more. I must be getting old...Chris B wrote:Paul
I don't know exactly where in North Notts you are but the Turk's Head in Retford used to be a Wards house, it was Tetleys last time I went in. I think the Black Boy on Moorgate still has a Wards sign outside, although I have neve been in there.
The problem is, since the brewery closed, Ward's is just not the same anymore.
